“@kiernanshipka good job honey on the role of Cathy in #FlowersintheAttic proud of you,” she tweets. Swanson adds, “I am happy to watch the remake on @lifetimetv it brings back fond memories of the original film.”

Reaction to the Lifetime movie was mixed, with some saying it needed to stick closer to the novel. Still, the network is already at work on a sequel, “Petals on the Wind,” based on the second book in Andrews’ Dollanganger series. It will be set ten years after “Flowers in the Attic.”
